Pet Food Bank Volunteer

Overview

We are looking for friendly, empathic volunteers to run our pet food bank, helping more animals stay with their families. The food bank is at Starbucks in Stroud town centre from 10am on the third Thursday of the month.

Costs for pet insurance, food, and vet bills have soared over recent years, and every day we receive calls from people no longer able to afford their pet’s care. To try and help keep animals in their homes with their own people, we run a pet food bank to provide people with dog or cat food.

You’ll talk to people about their animals, offer support and hand out food. There’s no means testing and food is available to all who ask. We will provide all you need to run the food bank including the food, leaflets and charity shop vouchers.
